honey bear squash....size

Mindyw3(5)June 9, 2012

So unless the flavor wows me i dont know that id grow these again. The plants are tidy, grew and bloomed quickly. First fruitset on one plant and all other fruit and blossoms have since aborted. The first fruit is about softball size. I expected small but not THAT small. So doing the math i wont get very many fruit off this plant. The second plant set two fruit, same day for both, and one is maybe baseball size and one is tiny!!! And they have already begun to ripen!!!! Of course all other blossoms are aborting. Im a little dissappointed. : (. Anyone one else have experience with this variety?

Ripe squash in zone 5? When did you plant them? Also keep in mind it is only June there is a lot of growing season left. As the plants get bigger they will support more fruit. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

Never heard of honey bear squash. Looks kind of like acorn squash. How do you hand pollinate? People tell me that w/ squashes but I never tried it. I have zucchini squash growing. That is my only squash family plant growing. Should I be hand pollinating it?
